Free Wolves' Bite [PUP Squad Alpha 6] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) by Abby Blake

kept coming out of her mouth.
    Darian looked particularly concerned.
    “So you’re saying that humans and warlocks evolved from the same species?”
    “No, I’m saying humans and all paranormals evolved from the same species.”
    “All?” Thomas asked as she unwittingly provided more information she hadn’t realized she’d known.
    She shrugged, biting her lip self-consciously. “I’m sorry. It’s kind of like remembering a movie years after I’ve seen it. Some parts make sense, but some are really fuzzy. I’m not really sure what I know until it comes out of my mouth.”
    “Kali describes her skill in much the same way,” Alex said.
    “Ava, too,” Brody agreed.
    “But, I’m not one of the Oracle’s receptacles,” she said, feeling even more confused. “For one thing, I’m way older.” Five years probably wasn’t all that much in paranormal terms, but Jennifer still couldn’t shake the feeling that life had somehow passed her by.
    “You’re probably right that your skill is not connected to what happened to Ava and Kali and the others, but there is no doubting that the pixie queen’s visit in your dream has left you with a huge amount of knowledge.”
    “Is it possible,” Skye asked, looking as shell-shocked as Jennifer felt, “that humans have these abilities and just don’t realize it? I remember reading somewhere that the average human only uses ten percent of their brain’s actual capacity. Maybe the Oracle’s receptacles were only sent the information that enables them to use that ability, not given the ability itself.”
    “That would make sense,” Benjamin said, “and seems to explain why they have abilities like telekinesis and whatever that shield thing is that Ava can do.”
    “It might even explain how Ava was able to pass the skill to Nathan,” Brody added.
    “So what you’re saying is that all humans would be capable of these skills?” Darian had paled considerably. “I think that might be the Ruling Body’s reasoning for the Oracle’s murder in the first place and for what is happening now. Even if the PLA is not officially involved, someone high up is making these decisions. The fact that we’re protecting these women puts us all in danger.”
    “ These women?” Brody asked incredulously. “My wife is one of the women you’re talking about.”
    Darian held up his hands, apparently annoyed when he realized the way his words were being interpreted. “And mine, also,” he said through gritted teeth. “I love Amber. Nobody is more important to me.” He glanced around the room. “What I mean is maybe the Ruling Body has a good reason for not wanting humans to know this information. I’m not agreeing with their methods, just suggesting that the skills Kali, Ava, Hannah, and Amber have might be dangerous in the hands of humans.”
    “Not necessarily,” Jennifer said, feeling the need to stand up for her own species. She was the only human at the table after all. “Maybe skills like the ones the Oracle’s receptacles share would bring peace.” She huffed in exasperation when the men around the table, and even her own sister, looked skeptical. “Considering some of the weapons humans have access to, I can’t imagine things getting more dangerous.”
    “You could be right,” Brody conceded.
    “Would it be all humans?” Benjamin asked quietly, the calm amid the storm of emotion.
    “I don’t think so,” Jennifer said. She didn’t miss the quiet collective sigh of relief that admission fostered. “I’m not sure what sets them apart, but few are capable of doing what the Oracle’s receptacles are doing.”
    “Thank the goddess for small favors,” Brody said quietly. “But with six billion humans on the planet that could still be a huge number.”
    “But none of this explains why the pixie assassins chose to burn the victims,” Skye said thoughtfully. “If they were assassinating humans why wouldn’t they have chosen a more human method? People
